In my region figures at WM had been down a buck but they're back up as of now... At least the nearby WM is which was the $5.88 price up till this week. I think others maybe went up a couple weeks ago earlier in the month.

My WM wanted to sell me the '08 figs for $7.99. Since the figs weren't in the computer, they were convinced that $6.63 was the clearance price since all SW figures are on clearance for $6.63, a price increase over the previous price of $5.88.

Well I had a probelm getting my 08 figures, 1 (I can't remember which) rang up at $5.88, a few $6.63 and the rest not at all. It was kind of a big deal for them to figure out to just scan one of the other figures for the ones that didn't. They ended up picking the $6.63 price.

That sucks. Did you get them for the $6.63 price Anthony?

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

Yeah, got them at $6.63. There's no danger of an $8 price, I figured the guy was making it up or had no clue. I wound up talking to a Manager yesterday and she explained that it's a mess in the toy section right now, that SW fig on clearance are a mistake and that normal retail is $6.63.

Not sure if this is the right spot for this but I saw it in Sundays paper: HasbroPlayRewards.comSave $5 on $15-25 $12 on $36-50 $25 on $76-100 $50 on $151 or moreFeb. 1 thru March 23... you need the store receipt but doesn't look like you need to cut the POP for all the non-openers.

I think it because WM, unlike Target, each figure has their own "code' if you look at your receipt from WM each figure is listed by name. They do this so us tricky collectors do not return figures that we did not buy from them. Like last year with the gold coin UGH I did not want the silver coined figures I had already bought so I returned them once I got the gold coins.
